Benzoylation of (II) according to Schotten-Baumann yielded a nionobenzoate, m. p. 123-124°. Anal. Caled, for CzsHsaOg: mol. wt., 380. Found: mol. wt., 370. 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) -4-(4-hydroxycyclohexyl) -hexane (III).-The benzene filtrate from the preparation of (II)was evaporated to one third of the original volume and cooled to 15°. The solid which crystallized melted at 125-126°, yield 130 mg. Three crystallizations from benzene and petroleum ether (2:1) yielded a product that melted at 132-133°. The melting point could be raised to 144-145°b y further crystallization from aqueous methanol and drying under reduced pressure at 100°.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
